Hello Tony,

Eeee! I knew it had been a while since you wrote, but 3 months!
Longer than I thought.

* convert_tag_and_file_names-debian-bug-440067.patch

Because using g_filename_from_utf8() results in a garbled filename, whereas
g_locale_from_utf8() converts characters, .e.g. ç to c, ê to e, etc. (Here
on my system using en_GB.) So I think this patch is good to go into svn.

I have attached this patch to this message, along with 2 others, so they are
all in one place.

* fix_crash_in_status_dialog.patch

This is the patch to fix "segfault w/2.7.2 when building with -O2 on gcc 4.3",
re-attached, same patch as before. I think this is good to go into svn too.

* use_pkgconfig.patch

This is a new patch that uses and depends upon pkgconfig to check for the GTK
and Glib. I think using pkgconfig is a good idea, if you agree I'll commit
this one too.

I'll commit these over this weekend, unless you have some objections.

best regards

Paul
